Chapter 110 Death of the Virgin: Die with a Smile

The Special Crime Unit was idle for a while. They were investigating minor cases during this period.

This morning, the police received a report that a murder had occurred in the private welfare institution "Stars House" in the old city.

Fang Rui and his team followed the navigation for a long time and turned into a bumpy road. After turning several turns, they finally saw two small buildings.

"Stars House" is on the edge of the old city. It consists of two three-story small buildings and a large lawn. The entire building is surrounded by a tall red brick wall, and the entrance is a black fence iron gate. There is colorful paint on the door: Stars House. The

outer wall is covered with moss and vines, which looks full of vitality.

Outside the wall is a large wasteland that has not been hardened with cement. It rained yesterday and the ground is full of potholes.

"Boss, there are footprints on the other side of the wall." Xiao Wang pointed to the mud not far away, where there were many messy footprints. He estimated, "The shoe print is at least size 42, and it looks like the footprint of an adult male."

Fang Rui looked over and found that there was also mud on the wall. It is very likely that someone climbed over the wall during the heavy rain.

Xiao Wang quickly took the equipment to extract the footprints.

"Comrade police, you are finally here." Acting Dean Chen happily stood at the door to greet them. She was wearing a black long skirt, shoulder-length hair, and a cross on her chest. She looked very young. But in fact, she was nearly fifty years old.

"Where is the deceased?"

"The deceased is our dean Zhang Xuemei. She died in her office. She was stabbed many times in the chest." Chen Xinran's tone was very flustered. "The ground is covered with blood. It's very scary."

She calmed herself down and said, "Comrade police, I have locked the room and blocked the news. I hope that when you are investigating, you will not tell other children that Dean Zhang has passed away. These children have a very deep relationship with Dean Zhang, and they have to accept this matter slowly.

I plan to let the teachers give them a course on the meaning of life first, and then tell them the bad news when they understand what death means."

"Well, we will keep it confidential for them throughout the process."

Dean Chen took Fang Rui and others into the welfare home.

The outer wall of the house is colorful, with many dreamy paintings on it: colorful whales flying through the clouds and stars, colorful mushrooms waving on the ground, a large group of cute children living in a huge wooden house... There

are also many paintings on the inner wall. The painting style is very immature, without clear lines, but the colors are bold, and the content of the paintings is also imaginative and creative. They must have been drawn by those children.

Mu Mian whispered to everyone: "The whale is called Alice, also known as the 52 Hz whale. Whales use sound frequency to contact their companions. The sound frequency of ordinary whales is between 15 and 25 Hz, and its sound is always over 50 Hz, so this means that it can never contact its companions. It is the loneliest whale in the world."

Mu Mian was once like this lonely whale, unable to find the frequency to contact the outside world. But her sister found her frequency and contacted her. She is no longer a lonely whale.

Mu Mian once asked someone to make a 52 Hz sound. When her father and others took her to the beach to play, she put the recorder in a drifting bottle and secretly threw it into the sea. She hoped that the whale could hear the sound, so that it wouldn't be so lonely.

"Yes. So this whale can also be used to refer to those autistic children." Chen Xinran looked at Mu Mian for a while, and she soon realized that Mu Mian was also an autistic patient. But Mu Mian was a lucky autistic patient, at least she could work normally.

"Are all the people living here autistic?" Mu Mian asked.

"Seven or eight years ago, yes, so this place was called 'Stars Home' because autistic patients were also called star children. But now everyone's economic conditions are good, and treatment conditions have also caught up, and few parents will abandon autistic patients. So we will accept any children here now. The focus is on accepting those with disabilities."

At this time, a handsome little boy came running over and said to Chen Xinran. "Mother Chen, why hasn't the dean's mother gotten up yet? Woof, woof, luelule," the little boy's neck twitched and he made a few strange noises. Then he scratched his forehead and continued, "Didn't the dean's mother say that we should go to bed early and get up early? Woof, how could she lie to us, woof, and secretly sleep in. Luelule."

While the little boy was talking, he made faces and made strange noises from time to time. After he finished shouting, he continued talking.

Chen Xinran half squatted down and explained to the little boy, "Guoguo, the dean's mother is sick, she needs to have a good rest, you don't disturb her, okay?"

"Okay. Mother Chen, I will tell them not to disturb the dean's mother's rest." Guoguo nodded obediently, his neck twitched, but this time he tried to restrain his strange cry.

Guoguo thought these uncles and aunts came to donate money and materials, he wanted to leave a good impression on them.

Mu Mian looked at the little boy and asked, "Does he have Tourette syndrome?"

Tourette syndrome (also known as Tourette syndrome), common related symptoms include muscle spasms, involuntary movements, repetitive mumbling, twisted movements, facial muscle spasms, etc.

Chen nodded happily and said, "Yes. Well, it was for this reason that he was abandoned by his parents in the train station. Later, the police contacted our director, who was very kind and accepted him. He is a very smart and sensible child. There is no problem with his intelligence, but he can't go to school because of this disease. We sent him to school before, but he was bullied by his classmates and teachers, and later he had to drop out. The children here can't live a normal life for various reasons..."

This institution has adopted more than 30 children, ranging in age from three to twenty years old, and they all have various disabilities. At this time, they were sitting on the lawn painting or playing with toys, with several staff members accompanying them.

The murder has not affected their lives for the time being.

"Sister Chen, it's bad, Yuanyuan is missing." Volunteer teacher Li Min ran over and said anxiously, "Has he been in trouble? He can't speak, and he can't ask for help if he encounters danger..."

Chen Xinran's expression also became flustered, "Yuanyuan likes to hide in the cupboard, can you see if he is in the cupboard?"

"No! We have searched the game room and the rest area, but we couldn't find Yuanyuan."

"Don't worry, go to the security room and turn on the surveillance to see where Yuanyuan is."

"Okay."

Fang Rui asked: "Director Chen, do you need our help to look for him?"

"It's okay, Yuanyuan is an autistic child, and he used to hide like this often. Our place is so small, as long as we look at the surveillance, we can find him quickly."

Zhang Xuemei's office is on the second floor of the first building.

Chen Xinran opened the door with the key. As soon as she pushed it open, Mu Mian smelled blood, and then she saw a woman lying in a pool of blood with a sharp knife stuck in her chest.

The woman's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, but her wrinkled face was filled with a gentle smile, as if she was not murdered, but died of natural causes.

Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "This is too weird, why did she die with a smile?"
